“[…] unmanned NASA and ESA programs have been putting landers on
Titan, shooting chunks of metal into an inbound comet, driving
rovers around Mars and continuing to gather a variety of priceless

space probes sprinkled through the Solar System. At the same time,
the skeleton crew on the ISS has been fixing toilets, debugging
laptops, changing batteries, and speaking to the occasional
elementary school over ham radio.”
